I'm still kid and hope to remain one eternally. But in the work I did in 
science
and engineering,graphical and image displays were almost essential!

Yes!! My experience exactly, except that I have never found out how to 
plot a pixel colored
or not on XP. (It was easy enough in DOS). But it can be done, is done, 
all the time. Pov-Ray
does, but so far I haven't been able to find anyone who can tell me how.
